I wonder how much it would cost for me to print up ten thousand photocopies of these files and ship them out to affiliates. And this would be just for Lightspeed Cash. A TGP, in concept, would have to have this informaiton for dozens of programs. Then think about keeping these files updated!

I've got a good question for you Charly...... This new law stats that content producers must list the URL of every location of every photo or video you've produced. A content company in the US would be considered the "primary producer" of said photos, and would be required by law to have the URL of each photo each time it's used. How in the world are content providers going to do that?

(Note: I purchase content from Charly on a regular basis and he provides the model release forms and copies of ID of each model.)
You guys dont have a lawyer do you? I have a lawyer , a real lawyer who is a registered member of the Bar. We had a phone meeting on the subject, you will have to give out full info to affiiliates who use content provided by you that falls under 2257. It doesnt matter if you think is fair or doable thats what Johnny Ash wants. Also there is the 80/20 rule I highly doubt every registed affiliate is active. This is a time to clean house.
